NamingFull Name: June Helen PrenstonNickname/s: Demon, Destroyed, Tiny, Helen, Prenston, etc.BasicsAge: 16Date of Birth: March 23rdGender: FemaleFamilyGod Parent: AresMortal Family:Thalia "Sugar" Prenston, Stripper, 42Claimed: YesCamp InformationYears in Camp: 2Claiming History: June had an average claiming, as far as demigods go. The day she came to camp, during an argument at dinner with the Hermes cabin, Ares staked his claim.Year-Round or Summer: Year-RoundHistoryJune was born crazy, but not nearly as crazy as she rapidly became. Her mother didn't notice it until her preteen years, because she was always so busy with her "job," but June was overly violent. She played with dolls, but never quite played the right way. Her dolls made plans to kill other dolls and occasionally succeeded. Some people would argue that it was the Ares blood in her, but June was also a bit of a sociopath as well. Thalia, her mother, was never home. The family of two was poor. The people she went to school with teased her for her anger issues. June never stood a chance, because her entire life was a trap, leading her into the life of a sociopath. In second grade, June was coloring a picture from her coloring book. It was Donald Duck, which isn't exactly important, but does prove she was at least somewhat normal. The boy in June's class who had a crush on her quickly took a crayon and slid it across the demigod's picture. She soon became extremely mad, as any average 2nd grader would, but instead of throwing a fit, June flipped over the table and broke a crayon in half. She threw both halves of the crayon at the little boy and threatened the break his arm. Before June could take any immediate action, her teacher calmed her down and sent her to the office. In school, June had only one friend, a boy named Caleb. Caleb was as disliked as June, which is probably the reason they ended up misfits together. They hung out together for a while with little trouble, soon easing into the groove of friendship. June was bright, but Caleb often outshone her, which caused for a little jealously on June's part. This jealously eventually ended up forming a wall between the two that only the little girl knew about. Throughout her entire fourth grade year, June managed to never get sent to the office, but that was mostly because her classmates were intimidated by her and Caleb combined. However, in fifth grade, June broke a school record of 84 referrals. They were all for outbursts, threats, and violence towards others. Her elementary school principal wanted June to see a therapist, but since Thalia was never around to sign the little girl's permission slip, June never received help. It was trip to the office after endless trip to the office for June. In fact, June went to the office at school so many times, it started becoming more of a home than a punishment room. Her school was a private school, but they never felt the need to send June away. Principal Edmund, who always walked with a cane despite the fact that he was extremely young, simply wouldn't let the school board kick June out. Whenever June needed help, or just wanted to get away from her classmates, she would get herself sent to the office. Principal Edmund was more of a parent to June than Thalia, who always worked as an "exotic dancer." During 6th grade, Thalia/Sugar quit her job in an attempt to spend more time with her daughter, but June wasn't comfortable with the change. She started planning her revenge early on in the year and came up with the perfect plan. Since now June was more crazed than ever, and since Principal Edmund had comfortably admitted to the daughter of Ares that she showed signs of being a sociopath, June decided she had to show her mother exactly what she had caused. June ended up frightening her mother with a knife, and somehow cutting the mom on the wrist, but other than that, June had done no damage. She was just getting payback. Thalia had tried calling the police on her own daughter, but June had cut the phone lines, thinking ahead. Pleased with her performance, the 12 year old girl simply ran away. She felt a little bit depressed over leaving Principal Edmund, but there was no life at home, and her school wasn't a boarding school. June didn't have any idea where she was going to sleep, but she figured it would come to her when she needed to know. A voice in her head occasionally calmed her down at the most violent of times, and a voice in her head usually egged her on when she decided to take no action. To June, a brilliant girl, there had never been any question that the voice was her father, she just didn't know how he was able to talk to her, or who he was. Leaving meant never seeing Caleb again, but June's memory had been wiped clean of the boy just hours before threatening her mother. That day they had gotten into a fight that ended up costing June her unstable sanity and Caleb his vision. It wouldn't have had lasting effects had several gods not involved themselves in the matter. Before getting dipped in the river of memory loss, Caleb had called June psycho and June had done some damage to his eyes. The river water was bad for both wounds, and intensified them. So, one the run, the little girl didn't have any memory of her best, and only, friend. Caleb was as demigod as well, but he was kept at home, and June was persuaded to leave for camp.Once at camp, which Ares guided his daughter to, June was claimed and sent to the infirmary. The girl was afraid of how baffled everyone seemed to be by her attitude, and often lashed out because of it. She nearly strangled a medic and almost got herself into more lock down procedures, but obvious improvement came over a span of just a few weeks. June was a sociopath, but that was toned down and she no longer had the desire the harm others unless her anger issues took over. As long as everyone around her was patient, June could be, too. After starting to think like a normal camper, and over her two years at camp, June decided it would be alright to trust herself around other people who really cared. She was 14, after all, and most 14 year old girls were interested in dating. Why should her disability stand in her way? Why couldn't June be just like everyone else, especially with all the progress made? Why couldn't June be into dating like all others around her? She knew nothing about having crushes or falling in love, but she knew that some people already had, and the possibility of it happening to June was real. After two long years of therapy and violence at camp, June began sneaking out to the arena more often. Her Apollo Healer was slowly losing interest in the daught of Ares, and out of anger, she started rebelling against the infirmary. One of the days she happened to sneak off happened to be the day manticores attacked her only getaway, the arena. June had never been a team player, but after getting shot in the shoulder with an arrow, she was up for most anything. She desperately pleaded with the most reasonable looking demigod in the arena, whose name happened to be Caleb Wright. The boy from her past. That day she wound up saving his life, and a few days later they met up again, this reunion a purely chance occurrence. Something happened that day to make both of them remember, and ever since June has been hesitant to leave her friend's side. Ares wants something with them, and the pair being together must be a violation of the fates, because Caleb and June are both in danger of dying at the hand of the powerful Olympian.LooksJune's hair is dark brown and usually straight, though naturally her hair is curly. It goes down to her chest, which means that it's rather long as far as hair goes, but usually has some form of a braid keeping it out of June's way. On special occasions she'll wear it down, but nothing more complicated than that. June's never had to impress anyone with her looks, so she doesn't try to look nicer than she really is. June's eyes are also dark brown, and are emotionally deep. You can look into them and see what her words are hiding. The brown in her eyes is extremely dark, and at night, it can be mistaken for black, which, as you can imagine, is a bit demonic looking on the intimidating girl. Her eyes are big, and she has exceptionally good vision, which allows her to be more observant than some others. Her eyelashes are thick, but not long enough to be considered "striking" or "beautiful." June's eyebrows are thin but cleanly shaped, which makes them look like they're waxed when they aren't. They are a much lighter shade of brown than her hair. June has very distinct cheekbones and a small, slightly pointed nose. Looking at June's profile, her cheeks don't look exceptionally large, but they are, and her nose slopes upwards. Her ears are hardly ever visible because of her wavy hair, but they are dainty and almost elvish. Her mouth is somewhat large and her lips are averagely full. June's chin is equally as distinct as her cheekbones, and juts out ever-so-slightly naturally. Because of this, she almost always looks annoyed, or angry. Her skin is pale, but not deathly pale. In the summer, it's the average shade of a normal person in the winter. She just doesn't soak in much sun.For a daughter of Ares, June is very small, and for an average person, she's short. But June has slender muscle on her arms and legs. This gives her an almost even smaller appearance, but bumps up her weight. She's 5'4" and weighs around 120 pounds. This is quite average, actually, seeing as she's always been pretty healthy, and she has a small frame. She has some mixed emotions about food, because while she loves to eat, she doesn't like feeling stuffed and bloated. This makes her eating schedule a little wacky, and can cause her weight to vary.PersonalitiesJune is a very dark and unusually twisted girl, but since coming to camp she's had professional help. She mainly just longs to be with other people--people who will care for her and look after her. She's not exactly lost, but is always on the verge of slipping away. She doesn't accept help very easily, and she hates working with people, even if they've made it their wish to help her. Though no one knows it, June has never fallen for anyone, but if she were to fall for someone, it would be someone who she needs to work with in order to fully love them. The struggle is part of a great relationship in June's opinion, because you deserve each other, things didn't just happen. June's biggest problem with herself is that fact that she can't see herself in a positive way. After being called psychotic and a lost cause, June's self esteem plummeted. If June manages to make a good first impression on someone, which would only work if the person was interesting to June, and most likely beneficial to her situation. She doesn't just open up about the said "situation", either. She would rather die than appear exposed to someone who could abuse her secrets. Another thing about June is that she's bad at holding on, but even worse at letting go. Her lack of people skills makes everything harder for the demigod. She blames her father for this, but really, she should be blaming her mother's parenting. Her father is quite a social god and is the root of only June's anger issues. Those issues are the most minor thing about her. She gets angry easy, but the anger isn't want tends to take over her system. Emotionless numbness-ity takes it's root when June wants to gain control, but it's hard to tackle your own issues without knowing what causes them. And without having someone to help you out. Alone. Oh, June's so alone. She has Nico di Angelo to be alone with, but he doesn't care as much about her as he used to. That was back when Nico had a crush on her. When the crush went away, so did the eager attitude. The younger son of Hades is the only boy to have ever been crushing on the intimidating, but small, daughter of Ares. This doesn't help with June's whole "you are beautiful" thing. She refuses to believe it. As the saying goes, "No girl believes she's beautiful until a guy makes her feel like she is." This saying is true for June. But it's not just that she doesn't feel beautiful. She doesn't, but that's not her main problem. June also feels unappreciated, and often knows that no one is on her side. No one is cheering her on. She's heard the rumors people spread around. "She's never dated anyone because she likes girl." "She asked out that little kid she hangs around, Pico!" "June likes Caleb." "Did you hear June killed an Iris kid with her bare hands?" The rumors spread, and though most people don't know June, they like to think they know her story. They don't. "She's never dated anyone because she likes girls." Wrong. The only reason she hasn't dated anyone is because no one likes her. Her personality is unpleasant. It's not appealing to anyone if you aren't like her. However, June is surprisingly open to people who are like her. She'd be more likely to fall for them, but since people really don't like June typically, they would brake her heart. This is a lesson June has to learn the hard way, because she isn't very accepting. "She asked out that little kid she hangs around, Pico!" Also wrong. Nico and June are friends, and since June wasn't interested in finding someone to guard her--guard her heart--June wouldn't have asked anyone out in the past. She's still nervous to be accepting of love now. She wouldn't make the first move in a situation like that. Nico doesn't make June feel like everyone else, either. That's who June would want to fall in love with. And someone older than her, or at least the same height. That isn't hard. June is small. "June likes Caleb." Okay, okay, okay. June just met Caleb. He does have a warm effect on June, but the daughter of Ares isn't that quick to fall in love with someone. The fact that she doesn't want to stuff him into a tight, airless space is a good sign, and it shows her gradual mood changes around "Knives", but it doesn't mean she likes him. It means he makes her feel special. It means he can see past the things other people dwell a little too long on. This is the reason June allows herself to get used to Caleb's company. She doesn't have much fear that he will leave her side, even if she gives him the chance. The demigod knows that Caleb is her answer. She doesn't know she likes him. "Did you hear that June killed an Iris kid with her bare hands?" That would be Kate, June's savior's girlfriend. Or, the person she first assumed was her savior because he did save her physical life. His name was Niall, and for a brief amount of time, June thought he would be the one she actually fell for. Like with Caleb, people assumed June really did like the Hephaestus boy and figured she was jealous of the Iris girl, Kate. How that turned to murder, June couldn't tell you. She's creative, but not in the way of problem solving. Usually, therapists are there to do the solving. June's there to do the "problem creating."Fatal Flaw: June doesn't like being with people, which means she doesn't like receiving help. She will even hurt others around her without much thought. June is a minor sociopath.SkillsDemigod Abilities: June has immense strength for a girl her size, for anyone her age really, and also has a way with weapons. The daughter of Ares can learn to fight with a weapon by picking it up.Weapons:June is skilled in the usage of many weapons, but she only owns a set of four celestial bronze throwing knives and a celestial bronze sword. Her sword, which she named Partner, turns into a ring with a flower on it.Other: June has a secret desire to find her old self.

NamingFull Name: Troy John LucasNickname/s: Trojan, TJBasicsAge: 17Date of Birth: January 1stGender: MaleFamilyGod Parent: ZeusMortal Family:Beverly Redford-Lucas, actress, 42 Ronan Redford-Lucas, author, 39 Camille Redford, sister, 13Claimed: YesCamp InformationYears in Camp: 8Claiming History: During a game of capture the flag, shortly after Troy helped lead the team to victory, Zeus claimed the boy. He was a leader from the start. Year-Round or Summer: Year RoundHistoryTroy was one of those Hollywood babies, born into the spotlight by no fault of his own. He grew up around cameras and thankfully was never shy or bothered by them, for his mother was one of the most talked-about actresses of her time. Beverly was destined for the big screen, for with a name such as her own, how could she not be drawn to the acting-scene? Troy, practically from birth, had all the beauty and grace of his mother with the charm of any Zeus baby. He was the face of young Hollywood. Billboards with his face, commercials starting him and his mother, learning his autograph before he learned how to read. America's baby. Publicity centered around the Lucas's only grew when his mother married then-famous author Ronan Redford. Ronan was one of the most popular teen fiction authors of time and Beverly's career wasn't slowing down. Troy's wasn't either. He was constantly in magazines, whether it be stories about his trips to the beach with his family or luxury advertisements featuring his youthful face. Troy would walk down a street and get recognized, although none of the special treatment of celebrity ever seemed to phase him. He had never known any different. Troy stopped doing video and photo shoots when his half-sister, Camille, was born. With the new baby, his parents hired nannies and tutors and put Troy to work in school while the celebrity parents tried to keep their careers in shape. Raising two kids but a bump in their success, but only a small one as they began leaving the children along with the nannies more and more. Troy and Camille generally got along, and as they both aged, they began to develop a close sibling relationship. They were the only true family either ever get to spend much time with. Ronan was usually around, but always locked in his office working on a manuscript. Beverly would be constantly filming, some days even working on two movies at once. The overworking came to an immediate end when the Redford-Lucas's discovered one of the maids dead in the dinning room, burnt hair. Her death was later ruled shocked, and the police concluded that she must have been using a fault vacuum, but Beverly knew, and Troy was haunted by the knowledge as well. He hadn't been trying to kill her, or even hurt her. He didn't even know he was capable of electrokinesis. He was just seven years old. The outcome of the terrifying situation was Beverly quit her work. She hadn't planned on quitting, just slowing down, but it quickly became obvious that Troy was a special kid who needed special supervision, much more than Camille who was a normal human baby. The final straw for Troy came the second time he used is power. He had just been playing tag, only nine years old, still a kid. But high on adrenaline from running around all day, and unaware of what a forceful tag could do, Troy had tagged Camille. She would be okay, but she was shocked, badly. It changed her and it changed Troy. The once outgoing, happy go lucky boy became serious and stubborn. His mom sent him off to Camp Halfblood in hopes of him learning to control his powers. She hadn't meant for it to be a permanent move, but after a year of training and fully taking control of his electrokinesis, Troy spent an additional seven at camp living. He doesn't, to this day, maintain contact with his mother. In fact, he has grow to resent her, but his charming Hollywood personality never seem to went away, even with the guilt he was always hiding behind it. LooksPersonalitiesTroy has a strong personality. He grew up in an environment that praised and publicized his every move, and never punished mistakes. His mother and father were generally absent throughout his childhood, even before the nannies, and he never received appropriate nurturing. Because of this, Troy grew cold and insensitive to others. He was allowed to be as selfish as he pleased growing up, and until the birth of his sister, was in a constant spotlight. He makes up for in confidence what he lacks in selflessness. To be blunt, Troy is extremely conceited and always expected others to treat him the same as most of America before his entrance to camp. Growing up in a highly affluent Hollywood-family, Troy never heard much of the word no, and since arriving at camp, this spoiled mindset turned into a driven ambition. Troy never gives up, even when it pushes him too far past his limits. Underneath his tough exterior, Troy is a mess. He's confused, pulling in three directions. His true personality is gentle and empathetic, as Troy naturally leans towards taking care of others, especially those weaker than himself, but the way he was raised brought Troy to be selfish and vain, hardly ever forcing him to care for others like he could if given the chance. Troy's experiences at camp shaped him even further, leading to resentment for those once closest to him and extreme guilt for his original foolish inability to control his powers. Troy has a short temper because of his inner conflict, and isn't patient. However, despite his negative attributes, Troy is a charismatic person, and despite his tendency to come off as a jerk, he's still charming enough to easily fall for. Underneath his hardened exterior—and admittedly several layers of tough interior—Troy has a hero's heart. He's easily able to tell right from wrong, and though he doesn't always follow his gut, he is capable if properly motivated. It's a hit or miss with most people on whether or not they will be permanently fond of Troy, but most people are naturally drawn to him either way. Maybe it's the Zeus, maybe it's the celebrity, or maybe it's just Troy, but he's a captivating personality. Fatal Flaw: Troy is a natural born leader, but he's also stubborn and doesn't like the follow others. He doesn't often listen to instruction and likes to be in charge of himself.SkillsDemigod Abilities: Troy has electrokinesis which he has been perfecting for 8 years at camp. As a child, this power was overwhelming for the son of Zeus, but since learning to control it, it's almost as if the power has faded with Troy's growing strength, and is now just manageable enough. Weapons: Troy uses a celestial bronze sword with a hilt with an engraved lightning bolt.Other: Troy's a major dog person, but he doesn't own one and as a child only owned cats.

NamingFull Name: Tiffany Claire PowellNickname/s: Tiffany can prefer to go by Tiff at any given time.BasicsAge: 17Date of Birth: May 27Gender: FemaleFamilyGod Parent: Terpsichore Mortal Family:Kiran Powell, 43, high school basketball coach Mary Powell, 36, stay at home mom Damian Powell, 16, football and track athlete Rose Powell, 14, dancer like her sister, not as good Gwyneth Powell, 6, wants to dance like her sisters Jake Powell, 6, troublemakerClaimed: YesCamp InformationYears in Camp: NoneClaiming History: Tiffany was dancing in the Hermes cabin, alone, when her mother claimed her. She was extremely confused and ran out of of the cabin in a daze. A helpful Apollo girl explained everything to her then.Year-Round or Summer: Year Round, but Tiffany likes checking up on her family.HistoryTiffany was born just 9 months after her brother, Damian. It had seemed unlikely, but completely possible at the time. No one had questioned the brother and sister being so close in age. 9 months was uncommon and strange, but scienticifcly accepted. Tiffany and Damian were often treated as twins, despite Damian having dark brown hair, and Tiffany being a blonde. They didn't look very similar, but they behaved like almost exact carbon copies of each other. In the two years before Rose was born, Tiff and Dam both received their nicknames, they were quite, and showed signs of being both active and intelligent. They eventually did grow apart, though, as the birth of Rose brought a extremely rough side of Damian and the nurturing side of Tiffany. The older siblings were both two at the time, and with the new child came another brunette. Rose showed signs of being more like her sister, expressive but considerate and polite. If anyone stood out in the family, it was Damian, not their half sister Tiffany.8 eventful years passed before two new editions to the family came along. In the years leading up to the twins' birth, Tiffany discovered dance. Never had she felt more at peace than the moment she felt herself move on the tarp that had been stretched across the dance floor. The blonde had been only six at the time, but she stuck with the hobby until it became her life. At age eight, she started dancing competitively, and at age ten she was put on senior company, which was a huge honor, especially for a ten year old. This happened to be the year her littlest siblings were born, and the year Rose took up dance, and the year her brother tried out for a specialized football training program. It was all expensive and drew away from the importance of each accomplishment. Tiffany didn't mind, but she knew her brother did, and she constantly tried comforting him. It hurt to see him upset. He was gaining strength and no one else seemed to notice. His skill had doubled in just a few months, and the only one who cared was his quiet, pretty, sincere, dancing, soft spoken, sister. She hasn't come out of her shell. That came when she was eleven. Damian was always being made fun of at school for his bruises and wobbly legs. He was always getting hit and forced to push himself too far at practice. Tiffany preferred to stay out o the way, usually, but it wasn't in her nature, so when she had had enough, she had had enough. She got into a fist fight with some boys who had been making fun of her brother for the bruise on his hip. (They had seen it when he reached up to grab something from a shelf.) Tiffany had been suspended, and the second she came back to school, she seemed changed. No one messed with Damian. Middle school was going to be Tiffany's chance to become the person she really was. Opinionated, loud, fun, but genuine and filled with attitude and loyalty. She didn't have many friends, because a lot of people were afraid of approaching her, but with her dancing career so extensive and strenuous on her time, she didn't really have time for friends. She talked to anyone who listened, but after a while, she did quiet down. She was too rattled emotionally to continue to have fun. Life at home was hard. Her father and mother argued too much. Jake and Gywneth were both attention seekers but were ignored by everyone but Tiffany. Rose struggled to keep up in dance class, and Damian was that boy that picked fights for the sake of picking fights. The only blonde in the family was the levelheaded one. (She was the one with the godly gene, after all.) It was too hard to balance everything, though. Her motherly instincts kept urging her to help everyone, and so, one day, she completely shut down. She had enough, and stopped responding to anything. This time had been known by the Powell's as the "Dark Months." Tiffany uttered maybe a total of seven words, and she didn't try and help anyone but herself. During this time, her parents also came clean about her father having cheated on her supposed mother with another woman; Tiffany's birth mom. This sent the girl into an emotional coma. She had trouble not ending her life during the weeks that followed. The only things keeping her alive were Damian and Rose, who knew about their sister's suicidal thoughts and understood them. In the Dark Months, Tiffany had a lot of time to study and learn by herself, so she did advance a few years in all other subjects by the time she returned mostly to normal, which shocked everyone. She was ahead in her school work, and dominating her dyslexia. Her ADHD was awful, as it had always been, but she was making huge leaps in her academic career. Her dancing, if anything, came out stronger and much more passionate. Tiffany had managed to hit rock bottom, which had in turn gave her the strength she needed to come out on top. There was no light without a little dark. She had even gotten a tattoo with her brother. Damian had done it in order to surprise her for her 14th birthday. Tiffany's said "light" and Damian's said "strength." "There will always be darkness and depression, Tiff. The key to conquering it is keeping it just close enough to hurt, but not enough to burn." The small action had changed Tiffany. She simply couldn't believe how considerate her older halfbrother could be when he wanted to. He hadn't changed his opinion of her upon finding out that she had the product of an affair. That's what had meant the most to her. Rose hadn't let her support waver either. She had helped Damian coax her sister out of preferring to be dead, the two girls share a half of a charm that, if complete, would read "Never say Never." The small gift meant a lot to Tiffany, who had never before had someone to share sentimental things with. Tiffany had never resulted to cutting, because of the two people who cared the most to about her. Rose even improved dancing so that she could make the completion team and do a duet with her sister. She was put on junior, two steps down from senior, where she was content to be. Tiffany had plenty of friends, but none of them meant as much to her as her brother a sister. The twins were still too young to care much about anything that happened around them. No one really minded Tiffany being shipped off to camp, though. But Tiffany would never know that.LooksTiffany has blonde hair, naturally highlighted with brown and what looks often like white. It's natural pretty straight, but it can also be dry, so she struggles to be content with her hair. Tiffany's eyes are very blue. Her skin is pretty pale, but she has muscle built up in her legs from dance. {wip}PersonalitiesTiffany is not usually quiet, but when she's tired or upset, you won't hear her try to act happy. She's opinionated and always looking to crack jokes, but her true talent is how she can express her emotions fluidly. She's a very loyal person, but isn't the most trustworthy, as she will not always make or keep promises. She tries, but Tiffany acts on impulse and is quick to make decisions. She doesn't always think, she just does. When she does think, she can be smart, but not above and beyond any expectation. Just smart.Fatal Flaw: Tiffany doesn't always think. She just does.SkillsDemigod Abilities: Tiffany is a breathtaking and fluid dancer. She isn't strong, she's not extremely smart, and she's fast, but other than that, Tiffany isn't skilled by demigod standards.Weapons: Tiffany has a celestial bronze sword named "Pivot" because she discovered that she can change direction with it easily. It turns into an ankle brace for her pointe shoes.Other: She wants a gray kitten. She's {wip} but I'm too eager to use her.

NamingFull Name: Ashton Nicole MabryNickname/s: AshBasicsAge: 17Date of Birth: May 16thGender: FemaleFamilyGod Parent: HadesMortal Family:Jessica Mabry, english teacher, 34Claimed: YesCamp InformationYears in Camp: 1 year 6 monthsClaiming History: Ashton was claimed at dinner after being at camp for a month. At first she was resentful of her father for not claiming her sooner, but when she discovered the stigma associated with being a daughter of Hades, the anger faded into appreciation.Year-Round or Summer: Year RoundHistoryAshton's mother, Jessica Mabry, was a teen mother. Born when Jessica was just 17, Ashton had suffered through a tough childhood. Her mother had come from a well off family in Orange County, California, but upon delivering the news that she was expecting, her parents had kicked her out of the house. They were traditionalists, and felt personally victimized by their daughter's mistake. Jessica couldn't live with Ashton's father, as he was the lord of the underworld and not exactly in the picture, so she bounced around the houses of her close friends until graduation, when she immediately bought herself a small apartment in downtown Los Angeles. Ashton was only 2 at the time, and her ghettos of Los Angeles remain the only home she can remember.Ashton grew up to be tough. She was a troublemaker in school, always getting in fights with her classmates, but was a very sweet girl, despite her defensive tendencies. Teachers liked her because she was intelligent and intuitive, although they hated her behavior in class because she was far more hyperactive than the rest of the students. She never performed particularly well on paper, because of her dyslexia and ADHD, but her aptitude for learning was apparently high. The other kids in her classes never liked Ashton much, and she turned into somewhat of a loner. The kids in her apartment complex never cared much for her either, and Ashton began getting into trouble as she grew older. Jessica was hardly ever home, either trying to get through college or working extra hours, and that left Ashton with more freedom than she knew what to do with. This opened doors to trouble. By high school Ashton didn't have a particularly pleasant reputation at her school as her dedication to education had faded immensely. She ran with the wrong crowd and blew off class in favor of going somewhere to smoke or pop pills. Jessica knew about her daughters actions but was too busy working several jobs, and too tired from raising Ashton alone for so many years, that she didn't do much to stop her. Ashton, at her lowest point, had even threatened to leave Jessica if she was truly disciplined. Ashton didn't let anyone take control of her, however, and was often the one in control of her friend group, and any relationship she ever carried on. There were many. It wasn't until a new boy, Stanley, moved into her biology class that Ashton found herself again. Stanley was crippled to where the use of his legs appeared nearly impossible and he guided himself using crutches. The kids in Ashton's school mercilessly taunted him day after day. He sat next to Ashton and as the weeks dragged on, the harsh words from her friends and classmates began to deeply upset her. One day, she had had enough and stood up for Stanley as he had never done for himself. Ashton lost all respect from her friends, but developed an instant bond with Stanley. Stanley was nothing like Ashton's old friends. He was smart, focused, studious, and not afraid to put Ashton in her place. After a couple months of friendship with Stanley, Ashton realized she had changed immensely as a person. She was no longer hard on her mother, no longer reliant on drugs to get through her day, no longer skipping class and always turning in the homework, and no longer hanging around the kids from her apartment complex. Her life was finally looking up, for possibly the first time since her birth. When Stanley felt Ashton was stable in her moral recovery, he unveiled to her the reality of the gods and camp, and exposed himself as a satyr who had entered her life to protect her. Ashton didn't believe him until she saw the goat legs. Stanley took Ashton to camp after they both shared a conversation with her mother, and Ashton has been happy since arriving at camp and beginning to hone her powers. (However, she realized the gut instinct that alerts her to death shot up upon arrival and never seems to dwindle.) LooksAshton is rather tall, standing at five feet eight inches. She is skinny but lacks muscle definition. Exercise and sports were never priorities for Ashton before coming to camp, but since arriving, she's found an affinity for running. It keeps her in shape but, admittedly, she's not particularly strong. She's also rather pale, a stark contrast to her dark, thick hair. Technically, her hair is brown, but unless it's been highlighted by prolonged exposer to the sun, this is almost impossible to tell and usually appears black. Ashton's eyes are the same in coloring. She is rather doe-eyed, making her almost appear innocent, but the fact that she is anything but prevents this. She's fierce, and it reflects in her expressions and general aura.PersonalitiesAshton is both independent and driven. She doesn't like the be coddled and she absolutely hates having to rely on someone else to accomplish a task. Ashton grew up looking out for herself and has always been confident in her own abilities. She's leaned firsthand what she is capable of and doesn't allow others to take advantage of her. She is, however, practically unable to trust due to this independence and self reliance, and doesn't open up much to others. She's amicable enough and polite enough to be an extrovert, but it takes someone with character that Ashton herself deems strong enough to enable the daughter of Hades to open up. Ashton is also selfless and giving, having been raised in an environment where there was no shortage in appreciation for the kindness of others. She knows what it is like to have almost nothing, understands how difficult it is to struggle from day to day, and with no siblings to look after, Ashton grew up defending her neighbors and classmates. In her younger (and apparently less mature) years, Ashton picked fights to stand up for others, but as she aged, she transferred this desire to nurture into an ability to give and assist. Although typically opinionated, her selflessness allows Ashton to be nonjudgemental when lending a hand and despite the fact that she is uncomfortable with recognition, the daughter of Hades thrives on seeing a positive impact in others because of her own actions. Helping others gives her hope that she can one day be strong enough to help herself.Ashton is and always has been bright. In school, she picked up on her lessons far quicker than most of her classmates. She has difficulty applying herself because she quickly tires from tasks and her attention span is hard to capture, but when motivated, Ashton is surprisingly intelligent. She is able to adapt and not much of a complainer. Since arriving at camp, Ashton has felt incredibly lucky to be out of the environment she grew up in and hasn't become unappreciative of her new home. Ashton is generally pleasant to be around because she comes off as down to earth and strong. Deep down, Ashton struggles with feeling truly happy. As a child of Hades, Ashton has always felt somehow out of place. She doesn't feel anyone will ever understand the way being so tied with death drains her, and keeps most of her negative emotions bottled up. She's so convinced on her "it could be worse" mentality that she feels ashamed of her sadness that seems to come from no particular source. Her one power, the power to sense impending death, frightens Ashton immensely and she wishes more than anything there were a way to block it out. The girl truly is tough, even underneath, but she's sure everything is becoming overwhelming. Fatal Flaw: Ashton is completely untrusting, leading her to be far too independent when making group decisions.SkillsDemigod Abilities: Ashton has one apparent Hades power, and that is her ability to sense when someone she knows or someone in her vicinity is going to die. If trained, Ashton would be able to pick up on shadow travel, but despite being a child of the Big Three, she never had much of a desire to get in touch with her powers. In all truth, they scare her, and Ashton hates being scared.Weapons: Black iron sword with a silver hiltOther: None

in character,"what is your name?"that's really the first question? okay, wow. silena. silena beauregard. "describe yourself in five words or less."nice.. clean.. pretty girl? "what is something most people don't know about you?"my middle name's olivia, which makes my initials sob. it's pretty stupid, but it's kinda cute, i guess. "how do you feel about camp half blood?"it's home, no matter what. no matter... what i do, or other people do, it's home. next question?"where would you go on your first date?"i love this question! well, charlie and i went and saw fireworks, and that date was basically perfect. it doesn't really matter to me where we go, so long as i really like who i'm with. "what is your favorite season? why?"summer! i've got one word for you, tan. "if you were stuck on an island with three objects that could not be used to transport you back to main land, what would they be?"geez, um, probably my hair dryer, some sort of shelter, and someone to share the island with? that's tough, though. "if you could meet anyone in the world for lunch, who would it be and what would you talk about?"easy, marilyn monroe. i have some many questions for that woman. i'd probably ask her about being famous, if i could get past the fact that i was eating lunch with marilyn monroe and actually formulate words. "you just won the lottery! what is the first thing that you do?"take a trip to the bahamas, buy a kitten, and donate the rest to people who need it more."tampon question"that was extremely specific, ha aha. well i'd have to fight the monster to protect the hair supplies and people for sure, and then i'd go back to tampon shopping because that's a very important grocery.out of characterphysical appearancesilena's hair always seems to change. she dies it something like twice a year, usually to a completely different color. it's been auburn, brown, nearly black, bleach blonde, you name it, silena's tried it. her naturally hair color is brown, clean and dark brown. usually silena keeps her hair long, and it pretty skilled at styling it. she should be. after all, her mother is aphrodite. the girl doesn't particularly enjoy wearing her hair up, and when she does have an updo, she'll spend up to a half hour taking it down and putting it back up again, trying her best to make it perfect and always picking something that looks slightly messy. silena's eyes are blue, but can appear hazel in certain light, and when it's raining. this is nothing supernatural, it just has to do with how her iris' reflect color. she has big, round eyes and long, dark eyelashes. her eyebrows are thin and clean looking. she never has to get them waxed. it's part of her natural beauty. silena has a lot of natural beauty to her, which she gets because of who her mother is. her appearance isn't strikingly flawless, but she's undeniably pretty. standing at nearly 5'8", silena is tall. she's also very skinny, with little muscle or fat. her sense of style is quite literally whatever's popular, and she will try most anything. some outfits work better than others. personalitysilena is known by almost everyone at camp for being the nice, cute, "girl-next-door" type. she has some hidden flaws, but outwardly, she's the girl people view as perfect. silena doesn't have to try very hard to be nice to people, it's just something she instinctively does. her father wasn't very involved in her life, he was usually too busy with his company, but silena picked up her manners and habits from the people who always seemed to be over at her house. living in high society can make a kid something of a brat, but it didn't effect silena negatively. she prefers to forget about her home life, actually. she is a cleanly girl, but also a true fighter—a hero. she is bold and outgoing, never one to back down from a fight, but also not an instigator. silena keeps her anger bottled up well and is good under pressure. she comes across as a sweet, happy teenager, while really, she's just as much a fighter as any child of ares. silena has very strong opinions about what's right and what's wrong, and even though she doesn't always do what she knows is right, she does always follow her heart. love is the most important thing to silena. she would do anything, give anything, for the ones she loves. she is not the most loyal demigod, though she would like to be, but personal loyalty is definitely her fatal flaw. love is what turns her from a slightly ocd beauty guru into a feisty warrior-princess type. silena takes love very seriously and doesn't fall into it easily. she believes in soulmates and true love and love at first sight and love equality, and really anything that justifies that two people who really love each other are perfect for each other. as a product of being ignored as a child, silena doesn't really like much attention, and doesn't go out of her way to get it. she is described by one of the huntresses as having a strong desire to not be seen, and is made fun of for it. this doesn't bother her. she knows people do notice her, and it's evident by the way people stare when she enters a room, but it's never been something silena cared for. she was raised to know not to expect to ever have someone to talk to, and she still has a bit of this mindset. silena puts other people before herself and is very caring, even when it endangers her own life. she is not a healer like the apollo children, but she is good at doing what she can to help out. silena will talk to anyone, even if she doesn't like them very much. her dislike for people doesn't really show unless she hates you. if she hates you, she'll let you know. it's part of her outgoing personality. she's intelligent, but makes foolish decisions when it comes to other people. sample roleplaysilena sat in the car, biting her freshly painted thumb nail nervously as she stared out the window. "are you okay, silena? you're being really quiet." it was luke, smirking at her from the drivers seat. the girl's face flushed red and she tried her best to hide her pained expression. she hadn't felt more used before in her entire life. she hadn't felt more worthless, even considering she had grown up with no one to look after her but a few alternating maids and butlers. her stomach churned as she bit her lip and refused to respond. luke was wicked. he knew she wasn't okay. he knew what he had done to her. after a few more minutes of silence, silena sighed loudly and turned in her seat to face the boy whose face made her feel like throwing up. it wasn't that he was ugly, luke was undeniably cute, and that was the problem. she had stupidly fallen for his looks and now she was being blackmailed into betraying everyone that she cared about. "i hate you," she seethed, knowing that it didn't do anything to help her, but having to get it off of her chest. luke ignored the comment, which angered silena even more. she didn't usually have a problem with being ignored, but now she wanted luke to feel something, to feel even the slightest bit bad. "you can't make me do anything that'll hurt my family. you might not care about everyone you left behind, but i do." the brunette pulled her legs to her chest and kept them there, feeling her hands shake as she clasped them together. she had been forced into the car, but she really wasn't. she had made the choice to follow luke to the side of kronos a few months back, thinking it was love. she had been dumb and it hadn't been love. now she was suffering from the mistake, months later when the fantasy was gone and she could think straight. love—and infatuation, which was a more accurate word—was blinding. even silena, an expert on the subject, wasn't immune. luke's voice brought her out of her depressing train of thought. his voice made her cringe. it made her feel unsafe. he was one of the only people who scared her, even when she knew he wouldn't hurt her himself. "is annabeth okay?" he practically whispered, keeping his eyes on the road and hardly acknowledging silena. letting her feet drop to the car floor and turning to glare at the boy, silena spoke with fire in her voice. "she's better off without you. she has percy. she's fine." the girl hung her head and shut her eyes tightly, picturing all of her friends at camp, all of the people luke was making her betray. really, though, she only had herself to blame. "you're right, but you can't blame me for asking. you would feel the same about beckendorf." the mention of his name made silena shut up. luke, no matter how much she hated him, was right. charlie beckendorf was the one boy who she protect with every fiber of her being. he was the main reason she was in the car. if she didn't go, something bad would happen to him. she would do anything for him. they shared real love, unlike what she had felt for luke. charlie made her happy. luke was manipulative, and loved someone else, anyway. annabeth. silena could sense love, it was part of being a daughter of aphrodite, and she could sense it with luke. "we won't hurt him, y'know. if you do what we ask, you help us, we'll help you. he doesn't have to die, silena." the words didn't exactly leave her with much of a choice. "okay." silena's voice was unwavering and monotonous. "when we get to kronos i'll tell him whatever, and i'll tell you about annabeth, and i'll help. but you can't touch charlie. i'll cooperate. just, please luke."both demigods were quiet, but it was clear they had reached an agreement of sorts. one that didn't mean much, mind you, but whatever it was seemed to please both kids. the rest of the car ride was silent and awkward, but silena had stopped shaking, and luke had stopped trying to make conversation. when the car stopped, silena opened the door and got out without a fight. "i hope you're happy with what you're doing, luke. because you're hurting everyone." slamming the door, silena fought tears and waited for the son of hermes to get out of the car. "why do you deserve this character?"well, i don't think i really deserve her other than i can be active with her. i want her because i like how complex she is, and i like thinking about what made her do the things she did, what kind of person she really was, what was going through her head in the end. i think silena is one of the most complex and layered characters in the whole series, and lately i've been wanting to delve into that type of character more so i decided i'd apply.
